Andrew already answered you mail with a bunch of arguments.
I am very conform with his writing, your posting puzzled me as well.

Your above sentence let me want to say:
- The new option is not complex.
- It is straight forward, and not 'over engineered' or even 'highly over 
engineered'.
- The added code doesn't interfere with the existing code in a way that you 
would experience side-effects, if you do not use it.
- There is no incidence that Wget is doing it's job worse than before.
- The new option adds value to Wget by making a core functionality tunable.
- And not to forget: Andrew already did all the coding work (Thank you, Andrew 
!)

Regards, Tim
